...bottomless appetite and a wallet to match, my only choice was to ship off to culinary boot camp. My sights were already set on Italy after falling in love with its food two summers ago. It also had the added benefit of being separated from home by an ocean. If I were unmasked as a culinary dud, I’d return to proclaim myself “so over cooking,” and no one would have to know.So after a year of Italian A, a few phone calls, and some generous traveling fellowships...

Sexual assault was rampant and physical abuse was the primary method of control. Scores more Africans died of disease or suicide on the majority of ocean journeys. Once in the Americas, if Africans were able to endure the back-breaking slave labor and seasoning of South America and the Caribbean, their descendants faced centuries of cultural alienation and blatant racism at the hands of whites...

Unfortunately, at at every moment there is the constant reminder that their stories are up against an ocean crossing whose purpose was to deprive them of a history and rob them of a future...
...tropical ocean temperatures have risen by about 0.5 degree C since 1970, which could explain the more powerful storms. The Nature researchers estimate that every 1 degree C increase in sea-surface temperature would result in a 31% increase in the global frequency of category 4 and 5 storms. Given that computer models indicate that ocean temperatures could rise by up to 2 degrees C by 2100, those are scary calculations. It's especially worrying because the most intense storms do the most damage by far - several minor storms can equal the damage of a single severe hurricane. "The category...
